Can a chlamydia infection during pregnancy harm the unborn child?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Passes at delivery: Untreated chlamydia does not appear to cause birth defects or major infection like syphillis. However, it can pass to the baby during delivery and set up various problems. The baby may develop a significant infection of the surface and outer structures of the eye (which can be treated). It may lie dormant for a few weeks and show up as a pneumonia in baby at 4-6 wks requiring hospital care.
